Yes, I know no Unix variants, but the above still covers a large portion
of IETF would-be participants. I am not suggesting that RealPlayer be
made the standard, just an option.
However..... it now appears that the Real people have a new business
model. The player is no longer free, but part of some stupid subscription
service which allows "Access to the audio broadcast of every Major League
Baseball game this season..." and all sorts of other nonsense that I
can do without.
Sigh.
Any good shareware player for the Mac?
Quicktime seems suitable.
Mac and Windows Clients - both free.
and a free, open source, streaming server.

Last I checked, the basic player is free, and implementations exists for
all the major platforms, which would put it on par with PDF/Acrobat reader
in my book.
what is the definition of "major platforms" here?
if you could supply a list of freely-available player implementations
(and URL) it would be really nice.
